Right. Simulated photosynthesis doesn’t have the causal profile of the real thing, and only ‘produces’ simulated ‘sugar’ *in the simulation*. What addles people’s minds is the idea that simulated thought or consciousness just IS thought or consciousness because the causal profile remains mysterious.

It almost goes without saying, but it’s telling that none of these AI folks react to their alleged beliefs by saying “well let’s just stop then”.

“I don’t have a problem with trans people, I just don’t think they should be able to use public bathrooms or play sports or get healthcare—“ ok so that’s segregation. you are functionally a segregationist. and you want me to believe that fights fascism somehow. ok.

MAGA is a philosophy, not a particular set of people or a party. Morally and practically you bring down the philosophy only by tearing it out root and branch. You can’t sample the fruit while you’re cutting down the tree.

I’ve come to think that the uptake of AI has revealed how much work was being done that was actually pointless. I think people have been doing a lot of churn writing memos and reports and notes that mean nothing and achieve nothing and are read by no one. And yes, a robot can also do that. Example:

As an American living in Ireland, offering my perspective for people who haven't had the misfortune to be governed by the man: Trump is a philosophical zombie. He does not have thoughts or opinions and does not mean things. He is a creature of pure base urges, driven by unfathomable insecurity.

Speaking as a recent immigrant to Ireland: integration is its own reward. I’m not learning Irish to pass a hypothetical government exam; I’m doing it because I wanted to connect with the culture and meet people and feel less at sea when encountering bilingual signage.

It's hard to overstate the audacity it takes for Fine Gael to romanticise the hustle-culture made necessary by their failings. I want to vote for the party who promise to support people so we can "get home in time to spend quality time with family and friends".

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

Also, the “man of his time” convo is always about comparing white men. The enslaved people were of the same time. What did they think of slavery? And if the answer is “well of course *they* didn’t like it”, then that’s the ballgame isn’t it? We all know how bad slavery is; they all knew back then
